Took the oil pan out and found problems... Guess it's time for a new engine.

I found same color trunk lid that looks really nice condition and seller says it's rust free. Very good find for 120bucks.
I will get the engine this weekend. |

Not much have happened. Engine is somewhat stripped down and somewhat clean. Tried to change valve stem seals with compressed air but pretty much all cylinders had one or two valves leaking because of carbon build up. So it was nada. Now engine is at my home garage on engine stand. Gotta try the rope trick for valve stems. And order all the parts to get it ready for the swap.
I'm having hard time finding E38 728i m52 oil dip stick tube which should perfect for this. New one costs a bit too much for my taste. Back on the road summer 2199? Been fixing E65 lately. First starter broke down and now electric fan. Without it ac did not work. So money that was itended for this when't in to "dailies" Last edited by zener; 07-26-2024 at 05:14 PM.. |

Valve stem seals replaced on the B28. Next step is to do the rod bearings. Then put new timing guides in and timing cover with new gaskets back on. Then it is pretty much ready to start swapping the engine as many parts are needed from the old engine so cant really do more for B28. I will also use cam trays and new lifters from M50. So... let's turn it around. Last edited by zener; 09-22-2024 at 10:34 AM.. |
